I would like to know what other players think about the placement of these leased vehicles in the Italian tech tree, not about the need of them, but just about their position.
Am I only one who thinks that M55 should be foldered with M44?
Btw in the past in my theoretical TT I didn’t include these 2 SPHs (though it seems there will be others as well in the future).
Instead of M55 in SPGs line, there could be uparmored Bassotto.
I’m all for foldering them, but the RP requirements for these vehicles are so low, it’s not a big concern. The tree is a bit of a mess at that point, though. If M44 needs to head over to the M55, then why is the Breda in that line?
Breda 501 is placed in the right way imo, since it leads to all the other wheeled TDs/light tanks. About M44 I am not sure, honestly too much of lend lease vehicles create a bit of a mess inside the tree)
The sad part is that this vehicle have the classic 105 mm and is uparmored but slow.
I think they should be soldered but then no one would get the m55 cuz it’s just a worse m44
I think people still will, at least those who research it for the first time, since it has ridiculously big cannon and doesn’t cost much RP.
Move M44 to destroyer line and foldsr M55 with it.
I thought the same thing when this was released also lol
Overpressure drops off after 155mm shells, so the cannon isn’t that much better but has twice the reload
Yeah, I agree on that, I’ve played it myself a bit and M44 feels better because of RoF. On the other hand both can be higher in br, because basically nothing changes for them, while other 4.0 vehicles (like Breda 90/53, Zrinyi I and StuG IIIG) become more attractive.
Idk I find 105/25 cannon quite good and unlike for 75/34, penetration of APHEBC is good enough. Top speed should be the same 38 km/h, but with a bit worse acceleration compared to 75/34 M43.
In the worst scenario power to weight ratio ≈10.5 hp/t compared to 11.8 hp/t for 75/34 M43.
Not postwar monsters values, but rather acceptable.
meh, I prefer M55 to M44. Either way, looking at current foldered ground and air vehicles - the popularity or effectiveness of one vehicle has no bearing on whether a vehicle is to be foldered or not. And the lineup will be fun to use even when you’ve advanced far past it. So people will get both, anyway.
